چکیده
PURPOSE To determine microsatellite instability (MSI) in squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was performed in a group of 30 male patients, aged 42-47 years. All patients underwent total laryngectomy with lymph nodectomy. Histologically all tumors were squamous cell carcinomas. Detection of MSI was based on comparison of allelic profiles generated from amplification of matching normal and tumor DNA. RESULTS The appearance of novel alleles in the tumor DNA indicated microsatellite instability. MSI analysis showed a microsatellite stable phenotype in 23 cases (77%). CONCLUSIONS MSI may not contribute to the development of squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx.

The aim of this study was to find the optimal set of microsatellite markers for diagnosis of the microsatellite instability (MSI) phenotype in endometrial cancers. We compared the sensitivity, specificity and ease of use of a reference panel of five markers originally recommended by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for colorectal cancer and a panel of five quasi-monomorphic mononucleotide re...
متن کاملQuasimonomorphic Mononucleotide Repeats for High-Level Microsatellite Instability Analysis
Microsatellite instability (MSI) analysis is becoming more and more important to detect sporadic primary tumors of the MSI phenotype as well as in helping to determine Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) cases. After some years of conflicting data due to the absence of consensus markers for the MSI phenotype, a meeting held in Bethesda to clarify the situation proposed a set of 5...

MSI analysis is becoming increasingly important for the detection of both hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer and sporadic primary colorectal tumours with MSI high phenotype. The Bethesda panel of five microsatellite markers has been proposed to provide uniform criteria for MSI analysis. Here we report on an MSI analysis approach using quasimonomorphic mononucleotide repeats and denatura...

PURPOSE Microsatellite instability (MSI) is used to screen colorectal cancers (CRC) for Lynch Syndrome, and to predict outcome and response to treatment. The current technique for measuring MSI requires DNA from normal and neoplastic tissues, and fails to identify tumors with specific DNA mismatch repair (MMR) defects. We tested a panel of five quasi-monomorphic mononucleotide repeat markers am...

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. microsatellite instability (MSI) is a molecular marker of a deficient mismatch repair system and happens in almost 15% of CRCs. Because of a wide frequency of MSI+ CRC in Iran compared to other parts of the world, the importance of screening for this type of cancer is highlighted. Methods: The most common MSI detecti...
